The beauty of doodle art is that you can throw yourself into it, including your very own take and style. Every doodle is different and should reflect the nature of the artist. Rather than emulating or copying someone else’s personal doodle style, consider developing your very own doodle style that screams you!
The more you doodle, the more you will begin to see your very own style coming out naturally. Things like the pressure of your hand, the tightness or looseness of your design placement, will all add to shaping your very own doodle design. If you are struggling to develop your own doodle style, consider the following to help unlock your very own and unique doodle style.
Find A Source Of Inspiration To Draw From
While true doodles are non-representative in nature, you should not feel limited in where you draw your doodle inspiration. Consider patterns that occur organically in nature. Look at the structure of things, rather than the actual object itself. Everyday objects can also lend to being a wealth of inspiration for creating your doodles. Grab inspiration from music and literature. Inspiration is limitless!
Practice Doodling As Much As Possible
The best way to develop your own doodle style is to practice doodling. Set aside some time daily dedicating specifically to practicing and perfecting your craft. Not only will you be taking part in a relaxing and meditative practice daily, but you will also begin to understand the art of doodling and naturally develop your own style of doodles. With doodle practice will come doodle muscle memory. Anyone can become great at doodling. Anyone interested in becoming proficient in it and establishing their own style needs to practice often, if not daily.
Be True To Yourself
The art of doodle is all about self-expression. There are a number of talented and experienced artists out there who showcase their doodle artwork for all to see, it will be tempting to attempt to copy their artwork. While you can always draw inspiration from others, it should be known that the practice of doodling is meant to be an individual’s sense of self. Try to avoid copying others.
Do Not Compare Your Doodles to Others
In the same vein as being true to yourself and not copying others, do not get discouraged if your doodle does not end up looking like everyone else’s. As each person’s handwriting is unique to himself or herself, so too will your doodle style be unique to you. Do not compare your finished doodles to someone else’s. You should embrace your unique style and appreciate your doodles for what they are.
